Girls' Night Out by Lisa Steinke, Liz Fenton
3.0

College friends, Natalie, Ashley and Lauren travel to Tulum, Mexico for a luxurious vacation to try and reconnect and air out old grievances, but when Ashley goes missing the trip takes a dark turn.

Natalie and Ashley have a multi-million dollar business together with offer on the table to sell to Revlon. Natalie desperately wants to sell, but won't tell Ashley the real reason why - and the only thing Ashley wants to do is hold on to their business. Lauren blames Ashley for a terrible loss that she suffered - Ashley is hoping to earn Lauren's forgiveness, but is it too late to repair the friendship? And all three of the women leave behind complicated lives back at home.

The girls meet a mysterious guy named Marco during the trip who Ashley instantly takes to, but whom Natalie and Lauren are resentful of as they wanted to focus on repairing their friendships. The day before they are to head home for the U.S., Natalie wakes up on the beach alone and soaking wet with no memory of what happened the night before and Ashley is missing. Instead of getting answers in Mexico, the girls are left with more questions - specifically the big one - Where is Ashley?

A good concept, but I didn't really connect with any of these characters. They all came off as either selfish, whiny. I would have liked more character development and fewer passages of "oh, woe is me, can this friendship be saved....." I found myself not really caring what had happened to Ashley - she often did the exact opposite of what she said she wanted to do or was trying to do.
